Scenario:
Master Creature Handler
Ranger 0/0/4/0
Medic 0/0/3/0
Novice Carbineer with 29 pts to spread through the 4 trees.
Primarily PvE oriented.
The goal here is to support the meatshield pet, ideally through the use of AoE/Cone specials. The sticky thread on specials is helpfull, but I wanted to hear it from experienced Carbineer's on which specials would work best in this scenario.
Why Carbine's rather than Rifles or Pistols? Well, I'm not a big pistol fan, and someone suggested you want to be close to the pet to heal him, and I have always thought the Carbines were cool.
Thanks!

if you want aoe cones you need to get yourself burst shot 2. I dont remember where that is in the tree but you should get it. Crippling shot is in the third box of marksmanship and it is the most powerful carbine attack but it is single. I would say go for the two of them as specials and then anything else you want to do to get better stats would be cool although you can up your stats significantly with some good attachments.

I wouldn't. Even at master carbineer is weak without BH dabbling or mass SEAs.
If you are set on it... 0430 you will have burstshot 2 and accuracy but you will be slow. A form-fitted E11 would be your best option for a gun as it would be pretty fast.

With 29 points to level in Carbineer I would level to 4300. You get plenty of speed and accurcy as well as cripplingshot, though FAS2 will work better for you.

I think no matter what you need some in the 0x00 line or you wont hit anything.
Burstshot2 is better than wildshot2. However, if you go burst2 over wild2 you will be slow. I suspect that wildshot2 with the resulting +20 speed will be better than burst2 and +0 speed. Plus the speed will help with single target specials like fullautosingle2. A weapon dps calculator (which i dont have the url for here at work) will answer this.
Oh yeah... wildshot
I keep forgetting that we even have that. 
Yeah wildshot would work well.
